The text interface into AutoCAD was pretty amazing...and like Emacs, backed by a Lisp. We'd run it on dual displays, one SVGA and one Hercules just for commands. The experience was very 'lingustic.'
You're right that there's been protests. The claims in the post, not sending a delegation, Bibi's anonymous statements being deanonymized, and the protests this weekend being intensified and a subject hostages families spoke about at the protests are all verifiable.
Pretty much.

Access to information isn't bad, but we also need to remember that we're all part of the same team.

Increasingly, partisans on both sides of the political and social aisle don't actually care about the opposing side. They just want to win.

And this is why countries like Russia, China, and Iran have been so successful at weaponizing disinformation - it's being used by partisans on both sides to undermine the other, leading to chaos.
In B2B sales something that can happen with extension of free trials is that companies doing window shopping, doing competitive analysis, or who aren’t motivated to find a solution to an immediate need (don’t fit the ideal customer profile) and essentially don’t intend to buy will do half-hearted integration and extend trials. It’s a runaround which ends up costing your sales organization valuable time and effort.

Usually it’s just a matter of the implementers on the prospect side not prioritizing the effort.

A free trial should usually be followed by a proof of value where both parties are committed to implementing the solution in a realistic way with the expectation of a signed contract if the proof of value delivers on the customer requirements.

This could be something to be careful of if that applies to you.
Okay that's.... there isn't anything on the page itself that would even do that so that should definitely not be happening.

Could I ask you to file an issue about that over on https://github.com/Pomax/are-we-flying/issues ?
> Why do you think you speak for your generation to bar them from casual nicotine use?

I think you're digging to deep into my phrasing. The majority of people I know that vape would prefer if they didn't. They always talk about trying to quit, but how it's very hard for them. Maybe that doesn't apply to the people you know. They don't like that they have an addiction now. Nicotine has some benefits, but it doesn't seem worth the cost for the majority of ways it's delivered. At no point do I think that we should "bar" nicotine use, but I think it's a safe bet to say that most people who have this addiction now would rather not have the addiction.

I had a similar response to a comment I made about sports betting and how my peers have gotten very into it and are losing money and forming compulsions. They are free individuals and can do what they want, but I still think it's a generally bad thing to introduce dangerous addictions to more people.

I also think that alcohol is generally bad for you too. I don't think that should be banned either, but, generally speaking, most people would live healthier lives without it. That doesn't mean I think it shouldn't be legal and accessible.
It sounds like you're bragging about a dysfunctional way of working. If what your team is doing is valuable they should get any tools they like without much questions. Just like in any reasonable workplace. Because workers produce more and better when they have better tools.

You can also just buy the software to evaluate it. This way you have unlimited time to see if it fits or not. That's what people do in other industries.

The purpose of a 30-year fixed mortgage is to build up equity in a home you otherwise couldn't afford. If OP moves, they now only have to take on a smaller mortgage for their new home and then keep paying that new mortgage off.

The goal is that by the time you reach retirement age, you have paid off the mortgage and own your home free and clear. Thus, you only have to pay the property taxes and have more financial security than someone who never built up equity because they always paid rent.

Furthermore, if you have children, that home is potentially a source of generational wealth. They can sell it after you pass and invest the proceeds, or live in it themselves if they want. Worst case, if you find you didn't save enough for retirement, you can tap into the home equity to keep food on the table, although this is not optimal.

Single-Cell Lipidomics Using Liquid Chromatography After Live Cell Selection
> The grandparent commenter was trying to blame current societal ills on the legality of marijuana and the legal availability to children

I'm blaming marijuana legalization for young people smoking marijuana, when they wouldn't smoke cigarettes. The fact that marijuana isn't legal in all states, or is illegal at the federal level, is immaterial to my point. In the places where my family and I live (D.C. and Oregon), marijuana has been legal for a decade. It was made legal in Oregon in 2015, after being decriminalized in 1973. Dispensaries are all over the place. In D.C. it's been legal to grew, possess, and barter since 2015.

The fact that it's illegal under federal law has no effect on people's use of it, because the feds do not bother to enforce that law on individuals. My neighborhood in downtown D.C. reeked of pot smoke way back in 2016.
One of the recent changes to my downtown was removing the 2 hour free parking. I didn't think that many people were using it or what but that first weekend after. I was downtown for lunch and it looked like first covid lockdown. Completely dead.

I thought about it as well. There's lots of places outside downtown with nice large parking lots, tons of bike lockup. Why pay $10 to go downtown? What exactly can I get that I cant get elsewhere?

Yes, the homeless problem is mostly downtown. That's not a plus.

Most the restaurants are ok, not remarkable. The better places tend to be elsewhere. So like, save the $10, get a cocktail somewher eelse.

Would more apartments save downtowns when there's no good reasons to be there? No. Could a theoretical benefit of bringing more people in resulting in new better businesses? Possible. I wouldn't do this on some bet that this would save downtown.
That's pretty cool. Are there any terminals that ship with such a setup? Better yet, is it possible to override this behavior in your app? For example, could I make a TUI app specifically for plotting data, and have it select it's own font that's optimized for braille plotting?
You probably paid more for the house due to the government intervention in the mortgage market, although that likely raised the rents similarly.
On SO I can spend time digging through the questions the search index thinks are related, reading through the answers and the comments on the answers. If I'm lucky I find what I need. If not I then need to spend another bunch of time trying to formulate a question in a way that won't get down voted or marked as a duplicate. Then I need to wait for an answer.

Or I can spend a much shorter amount of time formulating a question for Chat-GPT and generally get a helpful, focused answer without any pedantic digressions.

It seems likely that the AI benefits from the information in SO. If Open AI can help improve the SO experience that would be fantastic.
I too have never actually seen this "tearing" despite being a Linux user for nearly 30 years. I am charitable enough to believe it is actually a thing, but somehow it has never impacted my life, so I'm kind of skeptical about arguments based on its alleged existence.
You know, we had an interesting discussion about Land Day a while back when you were accusing me of being an Islamist. I am saddened to see this regression on the issue of occupation/“pending final status determination”
This is an overly simplistic model which happens to have applied very well to Japan but would break down if applied in other economies where inflationary risk is present.

I'm pretty sure there's a joke about there being three types of economies: developed, undeveloped, and Japan.

Cash is useless if the value of the cash goes down by 10,000% and you don't have an inflation adjusted revenue stream. You have to do something with the cash to get enough interest to keep up with inflation.
Agreed. Congress Pating themselves on the back for taking down juul while allowing the rise of these e-waste single use vapes with notably more flavours than Juul ever had.

I think it was a political move and not at all about the health of people.

Anduril seems to be on a tear lately. It'll be awkward if nerdy Palmer Luckey builds the next Lockheed Martin. I also can't believe this guy was 21 when he sold Oculus for $3 billion, damn.
Plus it's in the script, so...
$40,000 is $480,000/year, which is 11.3% of $4.25 million; if one borrowed that $4.25 million at a significant discount to 11.3% then that might be a very good financial decision indeed.

If it’s at a floating rate, it might still be a good decision. But right now some business loans are up around 15%, at which point the situation above would be an absolute catastrophe.
Thanks for making this!

Note: I was carefully reading along and well into the third notebook before I realized that the code sections marked "TODO" were actual exercises for the reader to implement! (And the tests which follow are for the reader to check their work.)

This is a clever approach. It just wasn't obvious to me from the outset.

(I thought the TODOs were just some fiddly details you didn't want distracting readers from the big picture. But in fact, those are the important parts.)
False. Accessibility will be obviated by ai.
I couldn't see in the article - is this using natural caverns or did they excavate? I know the pilot versions of this tech generally use old salt-caverns, like the one in Germany.

I'm actually pretty excited about this tech - it seems like solar and wind are getting cheap faster than batteries will be able to meet the needs for grid-scale energy storage, so a cheap-but-inefficient energy storage tech is an exciting prospect. Massively overbuild the solar/wind and use these things to defer the overflow.
Is it not the ultimate goal of all human labor to progress past the need for certain menial jobs? It seems to just be the natural progression of technological advancement, not the rapture.

I would have to second this. There are some ideas in their that once you unpack them, you can't unsee them.
Missing one of my favorites, scalar replacement of aggregates, which is done very early in the LLVM flow.
This was so vague that my take is a bit different than everyone else's here – my guess is that developers love StackOverflow, hate that OpenAI is stealing their info and destroying SO, and OpenAI sees this as a cheap way to curry favor with developers (and based on the response here, it's not working).

I think both SO and OpenAI see the writing on the wall (unfortunately). The real "partnership" is OpenAI gets to say "look, we're working together!" to avoid accusations of destroying SO, and SO gets to save a little bit of face (and hopefully make a little money) on the way down.

Why is it that you can get people to take the law seriously when it comes to ensuring there's a wheelchair ramp for a new building, but not for a comparatively simpler and cheaper thing like a website that a screen reader can use?

I know that laws are slow to change and the changers of laws mostly treat computers with bewilderment and suspicion. I know that only thirty years ago the web really was the wild west whereas there have been building codes for thousands of years.

What I don't understand is how there seems to be neither voluntary compliance not significant enforcement.
Workday may be bad, but it has nothing on Taleo.
I can't bring myself to believe that bollards are the answer. Placing them everywhere would be exceptionally expensive. Emergency vehicles would get stuck in traffic more often. Car accidents involving bollards would be more dangerous to drivers and do more costly damage to cars.

While I agree that pedestrian lives would be saved, the net cost to human life likely remains unchanged.

That was the Dragon 1 back in 2008, years before Commercial Crew and during the company’s scrappy startup phase. SpaceX has since emerged as the launch leader in the world. The idea that they only just scraped it together for commercial crew is to ignore hundreds of Falcon 9 launches with a world-class reliability and now a totally unprecedented launch cadence. It’s a total nonsense argument.

That would be so cool! I'd love to explore generating images like that with AI.
Debt is essentially sacrificing future well-being for immediate access to some product or service utility normally inaccessible from current market conditions.

Even if a specific type of debt load is not necessarily a liability for personal profit, it is assuredly someones problem eventually...

The theory debt doesn't matter only applies to 0.04% of the population dodging tax burdens with structured financial instruments. The interest rates should be set over 14.2% (and we know it), as aristocratic gambling-culture has stolen living-standard value from great-great-grandchildren not even born yet.

The poignant question is 'could anyone do anything about the trends', and the short answer is a simple 'No'.

> This technical failing probably, partially, explains why they are so against allowing sideloading.

This occurred to me the other day. I've always laughed at the idea that Apple blocks sideloading for security purposes, but if the first line of defense is and always has been security through obscurity + manual App Store review (>= 2.0) on iOS, it's very possible that sideloading could cause problems. iOS didn't even have an App Store in release 1.0, meanwhile the Android security model has taken into account sideloaded apps since the very beginning [1]:

> Android is designed to be open. [...] Securing an open platform requires a strong security architecture and rigorous security programs. Android was designed with multilayered security that's flexible enough to support an open platform while still protecting all users of the platform.

Edit: Language revised to clarify that I'm poking fun of the idea and not the one who believes it.
Belgium to police Telegram under new EU tech law
Hard disagree. That "smart IoT coffee maker" stores your wifi details, including the password so it can reconnect. I appreciate the level of sophistication and effort required for someone to be able to abuse that is beyond the realm of likelihood, it's not unreasonable to believe that there may be higher value targets (like journalists) who are being targeted where this is a reasonable method for dedicated attackers to use to gain access to a targets home network. Better to just secure these things by default.
"Seems to be on a tear" is the result of good marketing and well-timed releases. Obviously these kinds of things don't just appear one day.
Don’t do limited time trials. Please. A limited trial means I’m going to have a worse dev experience with deadlines, activation or loss of functionality. Having a time limited trial or even a requirement to submit an email in order to try something is a big turnoff when evaluating a product.

Just make the product free for non commercial use (including a trial in a commercial setting). If I need support or want to buy something please let me contact support or sales. I don’t want an automated email from Jeff at Randomcorp asking me how my trial is going. If a trial has to take 30 days or 365, just let me finish.
Documentation, GitHub issues, language forums, reddit. Nowadays it seems more often that those resources help me work around the issues I'm encountering rather than stackoverflow. There are also the AI tools that help me easily get answers to the question "how do I do X in language/framework Y"
I would say "fairly annoying", alas! I never bothered to make Selenium etc examples, though I know some customers use it. You can switch to the SVG renderer for testing if you really want to inspect the DOM after doing actions, and some customers do this too. And you can mock events if you want to, we give some basic examples: https://gojs.net/latest/samples/Robot.html

But you have to inspect programmatically one way or another. What is easiest really depends on what, exactly, you want to test. Eg testing your permissions (can a user copy a node with these checkboxes in my app selected) can be done by trying to copy and seeing how many Parts exist before and after, etc.
thanks for the reply. i do feel the same, as in, i sometimes even think that way too due to the news. i dont watch al jazera, but in my country, the IDF does not come out good either... Israelis though, they dont get chucked in with the same sentiment. (im dutch, there's reports of the injustices against civilians, but no word on the general population of israel being 'bad' or something like that.)

im maybe lucky i have some israeli ex colleagues who can help me see that the people there are also against violence and injustices. (what those are is not the point i guess. - maybe that's an opinion different on both sides of a fence..)

There's in our national news things like a report that says there's like 35k deaths in gaza, then the next report says there's like 30k children killed. - it's really easy to get a weird idea here..... (I simply assume no soldier would willingly just kill mostly children - but maybe thats also wrong??)

don't want to say i am with one or another side. just want to point out how reporting, as you said, can make things look a certain way, while they might not be. This is now true for most conflicts as there's so many sides of each story, and then all the content-farms and propaganda ontop of that.

everyone is trying to win the others over to their side of the debate to justify their war, rather than to build peace. (i think?)
> Back then the majority of web sites and their pages actually contained text for readers to read.

Did they though?

I remember when sites would heavily leverage Flash, Shockwave, Java Applets, Image Maps, etc.

The reality is that the web started as a document system but immediately got pulled in the direction of being a multimedia delivery platform and has continued in the direction for 30 years.

If anything the tools for accessibility are better than they ever were but are always going to be trailing behind because users and creators want to push the medium further and it takes time to figure out how to translate those new features in an accessibility setting.
There are more assets than cash. cash is the most accesible, but others exist and are useful to have.
If it were me, I would let go of that association, unless you find value in it.
Thanks! I mentioned in another comment but definitely hoping to expand once I've nailed the fundamentals!
Yeah, I think this is one of those things where there can be pretty wild deviation from the mean. One of my uncles quit a 30-year smoking habit about 10 years ago, and the only reason he waited so long was because he had heard for decades how hard it is to quit. However, like you he just stopped one day and that was it.

(My family credits his success in nicotine cessation to having previously kicked a 20-year heroin addiction. It would be interesting to see if you can “get good” at overcoming addictions, or if every substance is different for every person.)
